It's April 19th. This is New York Met's News Today Team News powered by AI. The New York Met's are proving that big money does not guarantee wins. With the second-high payroll in Major League Baseball at $381 million, they just hit their 11 straight loss. Getting swept by the Chicago Cubs for the third series in a row, Sunday's game stung extra hard. The Met's held a one-nothing lead into the ninth, but former teammate Michael Conforto tied it up, and another X-Mets player, Pete Crow Armstrong, scored the winner in the 10th on a sacrifice fly. Fans and players are feeling the pain. Shorestop Francisco Lendor called it a sucky feeling, while manager Carlos Mendoza said nobody feels sorry for them. They have to figure it out. Now at 7 wins and 15 losses, they own the worst record in the majors. This missed Echo's last season's collapse when they started hot, but missed the playoffs. Some manager David Stern's dumped veterans and coaches, but the rebuild looks rougher,

with just 19 runs scored over the streak the longest. Since 2002, one Soto returns soon from injury, their top guy, but Lendor warns not to pile it all on him. The squad needs everyone stepping up to flip this nightmare script.
